I flashed a FTF for 17.1.A.2.55 because my Z2 is TW version, and then when I try to install SuperSU through google play it says the binaries aren't installed and I should reroot?
But when I try to relock bootloader through flashtool my phone bricks
What am I suppose to do
Edit: Since 17.1.A.2.55 relocking no longer bricks my phone, excellent
Relocked & unlocked with flashtool with no problems, however SuperSu binaries still aren't installed for some reason
Edit Edit: Noobed it pretty hard, forgot that flashing a stock ROM wipes everything, had to install CWM again via adb/fastboot and all that to get SuperSU up and running, thread saved!

Ok so im by no means new to rooting and roms and the like since ive rooted every phone ive had over the last 5 years but for the life of me i can not seems to figure out these sony devices. So i downloaded and flashed the new 5.1.1 ftf thru flashtool last night and everything is working fine. I have google and searched thru xda about ways to root and i thought the first step would be to install XZdual recovery but i downloaded nuts installer and ran it which seems to have worked but it still does nothing whether trying to manually enter recovery or doing it thru adb. Ok guys what am i doing wrong? Any help would be great!
Must downgrade to 4.4.2, the XZDR will root and install a recovery, then you install a pre rooted package or modified but stock-based 5.1.1 ROM, you won't loose root or recovery; but you wont be able to update via "official" methods like OTA or PC Companion because you have modified the phone's software.
Step # 1 is downgrade to 4.4.2 (314 build number works like a charm)
Damn what a pain but thank you for the reply at least thats a start since there are lots of guides for rooting 4.4.2 lol. Thanks
You don't have to downgrade to kitkat, You can downgrade to lollipop 5.0.2 (by flashing a new ftf via flashtool) and root via king root and install recovery via xzrecovery app (after getting root access) and then follow these steps:
1.Download a pre-rooted firmware 5.1.1 (flashable zip)
2.Boot into Recovery (TWRP Recommend)
3.Install - Choose ROM direction - flash the ROM zip and wipe cache\dalvik cache
(don't worry this won't wipe your data)
# I highly recommend you to do a factory reset after flashing because if you didn't the phone will be laggy and battery will drain extremely fast
*And If you have xposed installed don't forget to remove it because it may causes problems
If I Helped, Leave A Thanks ?

If your going to downgrade to an older version of Android, why not go to a version of Android that can be rooted by an app that that doesn't require internet access or all the permissions of kingroot?
Kingroot requires a lot of permissions on your phone to complete something fairly basic.

hi, i recived the 6.0 update OTA today
my phone was on 5.0.2, bootloader unlocked, supersu rooted
using supersu option i removed the root, this to be able to install OTA (leaving supersu result in "update error")
updated to 6.0 succesfully
downloaded lastest stable supersu v2.65
downloaded twrp-surnia-3.0.2-r1
booted twrp without flashing (i don't want to install twrp) do this way in 5.0 and 5.0.2 adn worked
flashed supersu
phone stay at "warning screen"
to restore the phone i downoaded the 6.0 zip and flasched back the "sparsechunk.x" files
how to get the root back again in 6.0??
thanks.
exactly the same here, even with supesu 2.71 beta
You have to install the superSU v2.62-3 (it installs systemless mode) OR in the terminal of the TWRP enter "echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu" (without the quotes) and then flash the version you want, in order to force the systemless install. I still recommend just use v2.62-3.
Supersu zip v2.62-3 and try: http://download.chainfire.eu/751/Sup...1211162651.zip
thinks @basili
I finally managed
That worked for me too
how
thanks it worked fo rme too
simply install TWRP 3.0.2r1 then supersu.2.62.3
I have a question. I installed the SuperSU 2.62.3 like its recommended in post #3, but Google Play shows that there is an update. Can I update it safely now?
i have my bootloader unlocked and everything ive followed every detail and it said flashed recovery was successful but how do i access twrp im only getting stock recovery plz any advice will be greatly appreciated thx in advance for your help
So, I think I finally did it. I broke my phone.
I wanted to flash the new Existenz Rom 6.0 and the flashing worked fine. The phone started and it got stuck in the Xperia logo. I than downloaded the Bootloop Fix. To make sure nothing goes wrong I wanted to do another factory reset. Somehow, my phone uses two roms (Philz custom recovery or something like that (I flashed the rom with this) and a TWRP Recovery). My phone booted into the TWRP (which it usually doesn't do) Recovery and I thought "Well, I can do a factory reset here". So I did the advanced reset but after restarting I can't access anything! When I turn it on, there is still the Sony Logo but if I press up and down I can't access none of the custom recoverys. I'm truly desperate and I can't afford a new phone. Can someone help me how to fix this?
@DerDokktor
XZDR and similar recoveries for locked bootloader reside in /system partition , when you wiped your system you also wiped the recovery...
You'll need to flash an .ftf firmware with flashtool to recover your phone. If you want root and a locked bootloader flash a KK or LP ftf (as MM is not rootable yet), then root it with kingroot or something else you like, install XZDR from your computer and then you can go to the recovery again and flash existenz rom or any prerooted rom you want.
You could also flash a MM .ftf directly but then you won't be able to root it without unlocking your BL.
If you need help with flashtool follow this guide:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/03/1...peria-lollipop-using-xperifirm-and-flashtool/
Edit: the first steps of this guide are to create your own .ftf , if you already have an .ftf downloaded you can go straight to the "Now that the FTF firmware file has been created, you need to flash your Sony Xperia device." section of the guide.
I have a H850 on V10d. The bootloader is unlocked, TWRP 3.0.2-0 is flashed to the recovery partition and SuperSU 2.78 is installed.
When I try an OTA update, the phone reboots to TWRP. Rebooting from there leaves me with the old firmware.
What is the preferred way to update? Can I use LG Bridge? Or do I have to flash a stock recovery?

Update with LGUp o by flashing firmware zip (if avaible) trough TWRP.
Never do OTA when you are rooted or have a TWRP, there are high possibility to brick in these cases.
so if i have an unlocked bootloader, custom recovery, and i'm rooted, but have a bunch of apps installed and a bunch of configurations, unroot, flash stock and then install the OTA, i'm okay?

If you're going to flash stock, you may not need to worry about an OTA. Just find the latest KDZ file for your G5 H850 here: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h850-firmwares/ and then flash it with LGUP. Your bootloader will still be unlocked, and you'll have to use fastboot to flash TWRP after which you can root your new stock firmware by flashing SU. Flashing stock is just that; you'll lose any installed apps and configurations you've set in 10d.

Maybe you can prevent some losses if you use the LG Backup tool at first!
Make a Backup and you can restore some of your apps and their data.
BUT ALL ICON / SOUND & SYSTEM SETTINGS ARE LOST!
I am on MPL24.246.20 (i know its old, but I cannot find a later one for MM for X1650-03).
Anyway, after I unlocked the bootloader, I booted TWRP to back everything up - that worked great.
My next step will be to flash TWRP and then I want to root it.
It seems like all these threads have instructions to root N, but I prefer to stay on MM for now .
Which Root should I flash and what about the kernel? - can I just flash root or does the kernel need to be updated also?
Any help are highly appreciated, thanks.
Update:
I got it to work. I flashed TWRP from Fastboot and then installed SU. ON my third attempt I was successful and discovered that Chainfire's SuperSU from the play-store is not working (it did install but immediately told me to update the code - that process failed). I rebooted, re-installed SU from TWRP and then went back into playstore and download phh's superuser. That seems to work just fine.
SU requests are being satisfied and I'm a happy camper with MM on MotoZ.
Thanks.
